I'll start....

Wii & Kelly the Klown

I worked at EB and pretty much managed the store since my manager was out getting laid during work hours (long story). Since i was the Ast. and mainly the only one really there it made for interesting customers when you're working 40-50hrs a week.

This kid Kelly would come in. Buy a game. Come back and say he hated it, but it was back in srink wrap. Not the crappy kind, but factory sealed. He'd then go on like he was the know it all god of gaming. He was a major *** kiss to the store manager so he'd be pissy when i wouldn't give him discounts.

Im in line waiting for the Wii.Already knew the store was only getting 21 units... they told us campers early on. So. We'd let people know what number they were. When Kelly got there, i refused to let anyone tell him his number.

Kelly starts telling the others in line behind them "i checked online this morning, they have 55 units here." Then starts going on about how smart he is and knows "cliffy b" which he only knows him from pestering him when Cliff goes to the local EB Games.

Later in the night some cars drove by with people mooning us and chanting "PS3" Well Kelly takes some pictures of the cars and their license plates. He then callls the cops. Everyone is pissed at him. the cops get there and start saying how we all might have to just leave the property.

angry campers.

so Finally after the 10hrs is up... we get into line. They start counting down. Giving people numbers. #20... last system #21.... Kelly is 22. "what the **** you guys have 55 in there. It says so online. you lied. It's fraud. I'm gona sue." I just smiled and waved at Kelly boy.

It's nice to see that jack off nerd hurd gamers that make GAMERS look back can finish last sometimes.
